Subject: The Bible (Bibliology)

(From the back cover) Scripture, the sole authority for the faith and practice of the saints (II Timothy 3:16-17), clearly delineates the means and nature of its own preservation -- but much of the Bible text and version debate has raged without recognizing this truth. Through the examination of many of the pertinent Biblical passages, this book yields God's mind on the issue; technically, it is a Biblical theology of the doctrine of preservation.

Each author, using proper hermeneutics, unleashes the Bible to speak for itself on the matter. Twenty-six chapters of solid exposition by seven pastors reveal that Scripture teaches the verbal, plenary preservation of its inspired text, the availability of God's Words to every generation, and the stewardship of the canonical text by Israel in the Old Testament and the church in the New. The Satanic attack upon Scripture, doctrines distorted through alterations, and other related and important teachings will also be examined, and the incontrovertible conclusion concerning the location of the preserved Word of God is provided. Submission to the Biblical doctrine of preservation settles the text and version debate for all who love God and His Book. The Lord God has spoken: let men receive His Words.
